There are four funding rounds each year:
15 February - 15 May - 15 September - 15 December
In very exceptional cases, where high-profile invitations to present work internationally are received too late for the quarterly deadline (e.g. a new film being programmed by a major festival), applications may be considered at short notice.
Culture Ireland also operates the See Here scheme to support Irish Artists and arts organisations to invite international programmers, presenters, curators, promoters or critics to see new Irish work with a view to subsequent international presentation. Applications under this scheme are accepted on an ongoing basis.
